Background and Objective: Intestinal permeability in preterm infants represents a critical
balance between absorption of nutritional agents and protection from dangerous pathogens. …

Objective: Improve vitamin D status in lactating women and their recipient infants, and
measure breast milk calcium concentration [Ca] as a function of vitamin D regimen. Design/…

The specific interaction between rhizobia and legume roots leads to the development of a
highly regulated process called nodulation, by which the atmospheric nitrogen is converted …

Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as a loss of bladder control and is characterized by the

Although Bordetella pertussis contains and transcribes loci encoding type III secretion system
(TTSS) homologues, expression of TTSS-associated proteins has been reported only for …

Aim: To characterize Bordetella pertussis vaccine strains in comparison with current

We describe a quantitative analysis of the genetic diversity of phenol-degrading potential in
bacterial communities from laboratory-scale activated sludge. Genomic DNA extracted from …

To better understand how the composition of bacterial communities changes in response to
different environmental conditions, we examined the influence of increasing phenol load on …

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of supplementation with Arginine (L-Arg) 3g,(together
with Magnesium (Mg) 350 mg and Salicilate (Sal) 100 mg) on maternal blood …

The development of bacterial communities in replicate lab-scale-activated sludge reactors
degrading a non-ionic surfactant, was evaluated by statistical analysis of denaturing gradient …
